wagon

Hey guys first post. As I'm just starting to restore my car I figure I'll be on here a lot so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is mwa206 and my whole life practically I've wanted a 79 Malibu wagon. I've had several other g-body's before but this is the one I've always wanted. It started...

Im thinking about putting either a 350 or a small LS in the wagon. Since it is my first car, my dad says not too much power. I think a mild 4.8 would be nice. I was thinking LS because it is a good starter engine and it is easy to make power with (Boost, pistons, heads, ect). A 350 is limited...

I have searched some old threads, and even looked over at MONTESS.com, but no real pictures. Here's the deal, I have a 2003 Monte SS High Sport that just turned into a parts car, for the better shape 2003 Monte SS High sport I just bought. This is my daughters car. Anyway, I kinda dig the...

Hey all, been a while since I dropped in, life just gets too busy sometimes, right? I've got big plans for this year's racing schedule and to give the Pumkinator a bit of a facelift I finally nailed down the look I'm going for. I had some time over the Christmas break to start a new...

The wagon has a 267 v8 stock. Within the past year, the car has had new plugs, wires, and distributor. Two days ago, I filled it up with premium (usually do once a month), and gave it a car wash. It ran well all the way home after the fill up and wash, but the next morning would not idle when...

On my 1980 Chevy Malibu the buzzer randomly comes on, and stays on! it is very loud and obnoxious, and i think it might be pulling some battery juice as well. It will disappear when I put my key in the ignition and turn it to the first click and turn on again once i take it out. It will get...

We all know that the 78-87 El Camino, and 78-83 G-body wagon, have low and difficult to see taillights. Compared to today’s vehicles with high mounted, and bright, LED taillights, these old G-body lights need some help to keep the preoccupied driver behind aware that you are stopping or...

Hello! (i uploaded this in interior and electrical as well) :oops: I have a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu Wagon, it has the 305 V8 and 350 trans. I'm planning on fixing or improving overall feel and quality of the car. - In the interior there is a clicking sound, by the looks of it it clicks in line...

Had this car for a couple weeks, its one owner sold new in Norway.
